Single Report 2024 in Portugal: Deadline Extended to April 30

The Single Report (Relatório Único) is an annual legal requirement for all employers in Portugal. It serves as a vital tool for gathering detailed data about the labor market, including information on employees, working conditions, professional training, and more.

New Submission Deadline: April 30, 2025

Originally due by April 15, the deadline for submitting the 2024 Single Report has been extended to April 30, 2025. This decision, announced by the Authority for Working Conditions (ACT) and shared by the Order of Certified Accountants (OCC), was made to accommodate the overlap with the Easter holidays—a time when many services operate with limited hours.

ACT advises employers not to wait until the last minute, as high traffic on the submission platform could cause delays or access issues. It's also important to note that after the official deadline, the platform will remain open for submitting missing annexes or correcting information that was already submitted.

What Does the Single Report Include?

The Single Report consists of several annexes covering different areas:

• Employee Headcount (Quadro de Pessoal)

• Annual Report on Continuing Vocational Training

• Annual Report on Occupational Health and Safety Services

• Gender Equality in the Workplace Report

• Additional Occupational Health and Safety Reports (for companies with internal or shared services)

Tips for a Smooth Submission:

✅ Plan Ahead: Don’t leave everything for the final days.

✅ Seek Professional Help: Certified accountants and HR consultants can ensure accuracy.

✅ Use Available Resources: The ACT portal and OCC provide guides and support.

✅ Avoid Last-Minute Rush: Reduce stress and system delays by submitting early.

Final Thoughts

The Single Report is more than just a formality—it’s a crucial mechanism to help authorities monitor working conditions and ensure compliance with labor laws in Portugal. The extension to April 30, 2025, offers companies additional time to complete the process properly and with peace of mind.
